What's wrong with Truro... from a few leagues behind... ? I like going to Torquay, but we are jumping guns. Truro - up and coming... is surely good. Torquay, maybe on the come back too... This is good. If I missed the joke, I apologise. There's nothing wrong with Truro or the football club. I watch...

Remember last season when it was a dead rubber for them as they were relegated whilst we were scrapping for our lives.

Nathan Butler-Oyedeji made his Arsenal debut at Ipswich today, and nearly scored with his first touch, but the keeper finger-tipped his shot over the bar. Thought he looked really good. Just shows what a gamble these loans are. It turns out he came to us about a year too early, but you don’t know t...

I agree Jerry. I do not know how this system evolved. I paid my own legal, accountancy and financial services bills when I was working running a business. If I was a footballer I would get wise and not need an agent. I guess we don’t know if players do pay agents a fee or a percentage of signing-on...

The chart breaks down costs by keeper, defenders, midfielders and attackers so it does not appear to contain non-playing staff.

No idea if the numbers are right or where they get them from.

I am fairly sure it happens in the Northern League (9th tier). Team have to apply to be eligible for promotion (to the Northern Premier Div 1) by a certain date, unless it has changed in the last few years. There have been a few teams who have gone up from 4th or 5th as the teams above them chose no...

Here’s the video again for those who have not seen or can’t find it. https://youtu.be/Dj5GHJdP22M?si=q8oH9zPL69Cdueay Shared with some younger football-loving colleagues yesterday as a history lesson and made my wife watch the two goals this morning. Two of my favourite commentary lines as well in t...

I was in the car on the way back from a family holiday with 5Live on. The two goals came in later than most other scores so they got a mention each time, interrupting whatever else they were talking about/commentating on.

Nice. I feel like we scored a lot of late goals in the L2 winning season as we often wore teams out. Or am I confusing it with another season? We certainly went through a period where we would finish games stronger due to superior fitness. I remember threads on here about it at the time, how we mig...

Would Archer not be left and Dulson up top with Miller?
Doesn't look like it. Dulson has played on the left in the trophy games he's played as well.

Good call.

There’s often a moment when a player becomes an unredeemable black sheep for a fanbase and, for Bennett, I think it was the Cruyff turn against Fleetwood that led to their first goal. It was a terrible personal decision in one of the worst team performances I’ve ever seen at WR. Bennett was the foc...

Yeah. Barrow and Port Vale the first two that spring to mind.
Burnley, Bristol City, FGR

Old Trafford and Craven Cottage both have the tunnel in one corner.

Would Harrogate be OK for a couples weekend, any info welcome Yes.

I too had to turn the Sky commentary off because of the continual shouting with a few choice swear words thrown in.

The lack of crowd noise being picked up and the racket from one bloke who seemed to be, deliberately or not, placed near a microphone made it a hard match to view. Awful standard of coverage on Sky +. Can anyone suggest the best place on their site to complain? I turned the sound down. I too had to...

Wow that was undeserved although the losing Bradbury and Pett didn't help things. Unless the referee influenced things through a shocking decision which impacted the result then everything in football is deserved. We scored more than them fair and square so we deserved it.

Payne has always looked one of our best attacking threats to me when I have seen him play, especially against Counties Newport and Notts.

But no complaints as so often in January we need to rejig things to improve elsewhere on the pitch.

Cracking stat from yesterday. Tamworth would have earned more than their entire annual income from a replay at White Hart Lane alone. The FA have a lot answer for. Even for us, a share of gate receipts at Anfield/Emirates/WHL would cover nearly half our annual wage bill. On the one hand yes it’s ba...

I would argue that this evolution is rooted even further back in the early 90s when the “back pass” law was introduced. It was comical watching old school keepers having to deal with back passes to their feet. It led so a slow development of goalkeepers comfortable with the ball at their feet and t...

Geography plays a role too. Playing for Blackpool, having played for Sunderland, I imagine he is close to the A66/A69 or M6. Carlisle is about 30-40 miles or so closer to Newcastle/Sunderland than it is to Blackpool so if he is still in the area where Sunderland players live then it’s less travellin...

My mate questioned, given digital tickets, how hard it would be to have the technology for season ticket holders to click ‘not attending’ for a specific game which then releases the ticket for general sale. Say the ST holder keeps 20% or so as an incentive for doing so and the club keep the rest as...

Loved how we came out the blocks in the second half passing and running forward with directness and pace.

I knew the ST holder next to me was away, so a mate bought a ticket in Block 7 and sat next to m in Block 4. He wouldn’t have come had he not been able to do so. In the two rows in front of us there were 10-12 empty seats directly in front, right on the half way line, which are all ST holders. They ...

Cheltenham Town Women FC have made it through to the fourth round of the FA Cup for the first time in their history after beating Norwich 2-1 AET.

All the top flight teams enter in the fourth round, so there’s a chance of Chelsea et al and all the international stars in the next round.

Draw today.
